Goals

Erisa
(A granddaughter)

     Can you go a year without drinking a soda pop?
Erisa can!  Seven year old Erisa (daughter of Mandi and Brian) has committed herself to go one entire year without drinking a soda pop of any kind.  Even under difficult circumstances like Disney world, birthday parties, family get-togethers, and etc. she just politely tells everyone "I don't drink soda pop."
     
     Sometimes pressure comes from those that don't believe she can do it.  However you don't know Erisa, she is determined and when she sets her mind to something she follows through.


    She knows it's not good for her body, so she just simply says "water please." She says she will probably never drink it again even when her year is up and is considering setting a goal to not eat candy the following year.


    Way to go Erisa!  I and many others are proud of you for setting a good example and I think you will be surprised how many people you have influenced.


     It is by small and simple things that great things are brought to pass.  I can't help but think of the new "Strength Of Youth" pamphlet that just came out by the church.  Keeping goals set forth for the youth seem simple, yet they can bring forth great and mighty leaders of the future, and lasting happiness to those who accomplish them.  Youth who are not afraid to stand up for that which is right and not afraid to be valiant will have an influence for good in a decaying world.

If you don't know where you are going,
you'll end up someplace else.
